Military Arrests. * We announced last week that at the time of going to press, the troop of caval ry were on the Western side of the Coun ty, making arrests. The first exploit of the command was the capture of Mr. T. M. Sanders, whom they found at tlie house of his father-in-law, Mr. A. T. Walker. Mr. Sanders had been in town every day for a week previous to his ar rest, and could have been captured at any time. The effect, though, would not have been so dramatic as dragging him out at .I o'clock in the morning and taking him along as a prisoner of war. Tlie company returned lroui this raid on Thursday morning, bringing with them, besides Mr. Sanders, Mr. T. T.Castles, Richard Woods, Wm. McCollum, Martin Wade, Thomas A. Anderson, James Darby and Joseph Sims. Mr. Sims was released after a few hours in jail, it appearing that he had been arrested by mistake. Messrs. Woods, Mc Collum and Wade were kept at head quarters under guard ail day, but were ftnally discharged on their parole, after having been subjected to the accustomed inquisition. Mr. William Leckie was ar rested on Wednesday of last week, and kept in jail till Saturday, when he was re leased on bail. On Thursday night, an other raid was made by the cavalry ir. the Turkey Creek neighborhood, and the fol lowing persons captured : J. D. Smarr, S. Howell, M. Good, John Jones, John Mc Carley, J. T. Love. Lee Gaston and Amos Scaife, colored. About, the same time, a detachment from York arrested and carri ed to the jail at that place Mr. J. M. Kirkpatrick and his brother, John Kirk patrick. During the week.. Mr. Baxter Crosbv was arrested near Landsford ami lodged in the jail at this place. Mr. J. T. Walker was arrested in Co lumbia on Friday last, and released on bail. m On Tuesday of this week, Mr. T. - M. ?randers was allowed to give boil, and was discharged. All the rest of the un fortunate prisoners are still in jail.. it is proper to state that all the arrest? wercmade by the military authorities with out anv pretence of acting as an auxiliary to the tjnited States Marshal. There was neither Commissioner nor Marshal here. The arrests, however, were made on war rants issued by Commiss'oner Porteus, when hero last December. These are times when wc are all at the mercy of arbitrary power, and it, proba bly, therefore, Would be wise for us to speak with bated breath. Tint every feeling of our heart is in deepest sympathy with these unfortunate victims of political persecution, it is hardly necessary for us to say?-Chester Reporter. -. m,mf-- . A SAD. SAD STOUT OF SHAME AXI> DEATH.-The particulars of a melancholy and tragic story, of recent real occurrence in thiacity, came yesterday tc our knowl edge;^ne outline only of which we pub lish, suppressing names out cf considera tion for the feelings of the unfortunate persons, who have already su Tered sutii ciently. There Uves in this c.ty an aged ' widow lady, in poor condition, and be longing to the laboring class, whose house was brightened by two young daughters, to whom sho was much attached. Both of them, though warned by their mother against the danger and evil of sin, and guarded by her with every precaution, were betrayed, and deserted ti: e ways and walks of virtue. In the first week of this month the fruits of their folly were almost simultaneously borne, and the fact of their shame became generally known, almost breaking the hearts of their mother and a brother, who is a worthy and respected young man. The facts being reported to the author ities, the matter was enquired into, and Bailiff Weeks, accompanied by the May or, visited the house. The unhappy girls were found in every surround ng of suf fering and destitution, and ore of them evidently not far from the he ur of her death. Bjth of them made statements, giving the names of the men who had ruined them. One of these statements w;xs noe required to bc sworn to, as the giri was evidently dying, and in truth,she did die on the Sight succeeding, Friday, and is now, let us trust, at peace. The other one is extremely low, and her death is probable. Warrants were issued for th 3 arrest o. the tw* men, one of whom has not been found ai tho time of the present writing. The ot!, -r, a married man of . respecta Li standm , was arrested and bound over to appear at the next term of th. Hustings Coun. He avows his innocence of .the crim J imputed to him. It is stated that no effort was made hy thc men whose sin led these poor gjrls down thc dark ways of indulgence am! vir-e and death, to relieve them in theil great destitution. The story t iroughom * is one cf exceptional sadness, with fea tures, indeed, so revolting that we have forborne to touch upon them, except i.'i the merest outline.-Petersburg Index, ISth instant.

A Brownsville (Texas) dispatch states that 2,000 cattle have been stole!-; from the stock raisers since the middle of February, and driven into Mexico by organized bands of thieves on the Mexi ' can side of the Kio Grande river. . The robbers come from Mexico, .-.nd say they . are determined to clean out thc GO un tri from tho Kio Grande to thc river Nuce. of the Americans by despoiling their property. At a ma? meeting there wert resolutions adopted, stating that the fron tier had ..cen unptoteetedforycar>; gov ernmental protection was asked, and that unless pr >tection is artbrded they will be c upelied to organize for protection. Thc iee'big is suchthat retaliation by inva sion of Mexico is very probable if there is not a change in affairs soon on thc lar ders. At Williams College, .Mass., a new and important step has been taken to ward materially and permanently redu cing the expenses of the student. By pri vate subscription and by appropriation of funds by the Trustees, . a spacious boarding house is in course of erection, to be opened with the fall term, in which good board is to be provided, at a price notto exceed $2 50 per week. This, to gether with the remission of tuit ion to all who require such aid, will bring the ex penses of education at this venerable seat of learning to a very low figure. Mr. G. W. Melton, an opulent citizen of Chester County, has become the purchaser of tlie King's Mountain j Rail Road, as will appear from the fol lowing dispatch published in thc York ville Enquirer : CHARLESTON, Mareil 20,1S72.

Standing by the Graves of Calhoun, McDuffie and Pickens. Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, gen erally known as tho "Natick Shoema ker," m ide a big speech lately at' Straf fi>rd in New Hampsliire, upon the reta tions of tho Republican party to the la boring classes. This speech was nothing more nor less than a terrible farrago of abuse against Southern white people. This is a specimen : "In emancipating these fourahdahali' million of* black men and women wc struck down the power of ino owners of working men and working women in this country forever. They made labor dishonorable in eight hundred thousand square milos of the United States, in tito sunny South as they were wont to call it. Laboring men from abroad would not go th ure to toil ; northern laboring ' men would not go there to live : they would not stand by the side ol' thc fettered bond men where* labor was dishonored. But by the steady, persistent adherence to principle of the men trained in tho faith of opposition to slavery, who now stand* in the ranks of the Republican party, all tltis is changed, so to-day tho laboring men ol' New England can stand up in South Carolina by thograves of Calhoun, of McDuffie, ol' Pickens, of tho leaders ol' the slave power, who proclaimed l'rec societv a failure-that free men and wo men when they emerged from bondage into freedom were classed in four subdi visions, "the hireling, the beggar, thief, and the prostitute"-and "lookup and bc proud in the midst of their toil." We have made labor honorable, even in tito rico swamps of the Carolinas and Geor gia; we have taken the brand of dishonor from the brow of labor throughout thc country ; and in doing that grand work we have done more for labor, for the hon or and dignity of laboring men, than was ever achieved by all the parties that nroso in the country from the timo the Pilgrims put their 'feet upon Plymouth Rock up to the year lSOO.'*. , Now as to the wretched Northern ad venturers who have .-flooded the South since tho war, standing by the graves of Calhoun, MeDuflle, and Pickens, ?nd looking up and being proud in thc midst of their toil, that is all vulgar and dis honest bos': In thc pestilent old shoema ker.

Sixteen hundred dollars for Spittoons for the Legislature, and One. thousand dollars extra to Speaker Moses, but not a bridge across Stevens' Creek for the hard working people of Edged old Dis trict-not a single bridge across Stevens' Creek from its mouth to Dom's Mine, a distance of forty miles. Conceive of it ! Coneeivo of the inconveniences and an noyances suffered by our fellow-citizens who live on thc other side of the Creek especially during thc winter just past.

At this moment wc have a friend in town who reached here by traveling from tho vicinity of Garrett's Ford to Dom's Mine, and there crossing thc creole.

It says further: "We shall not, antler any circumstances, hoi]) to reelect any President for a.second terni."
